Introducing TFTV+
posted in News
enigma
September 27, 2013

What is it?

TFTV+ is a premium service through which subscribers gain access to some extra perks, which for now include:

  • a blue-colored name on the forums (the invite-only blue is no more)
  • option to turn off advertisements
  • enhanced forum functionality (see below)

Enhanced forum functionality?

You'll be able to visually differentiate between threads with unread new posts and ones without. Thread links on the sidebar and forums will take you to the first unread post. All of this is optional of course; options exist to turn it off but I've yet to hear anything but positive feedback.

Why can't you give this to everyone?

I can't. This thread explains the problem a bit more in depth.

Where does the money go?

The money funds development and maintenance of the site as well as the TFTV casting operation as a whole. Though passion fuels really all involvement in competitive TF2, money certainly goes a long way in greasing wheels. This certainly won't change the intent behind development--significant new features will always be for the benefit of all.


In short: subscribe for some cool stuff and further the tf.tv community!

Check out the info/signup page for the full spiel.

on a side-note while I'm 100% for supporting TFTV, I don't really like how you have to pay for some of these really basic things...

no other site of this scale has this thorough of an implementation of these features (and for good reason)

Purple is Twitch staff, so Twitch John. Pink could be a little hard to see. TFTV staff was once pink, and is now green (unless that was removed too).

Edit: so used to typing Twitch chat

Every forum I've ever visited has had new post notifications and a jump to unread post button. I won't pretend to know how most forums implement it, but how is it that they can do so without using so many resources it requires a subscription system to support it?

I'm by no means against having some way for you to recover some of the money you spend on hosting, but I'm a little confused as to why these basic forum features can't be available to everyone when most forums can provide them easily.

It's not really about the amenities but I agree that the rewards are a bit superfluous. Just give subscribers emotes then everyone will be happy.
